Skinny Mini Challenge-Week THREE! (Closed Group)

Beautiful day today! I had a workout with my trainer today in more than one appointment for orthotics.
So goodbye knee problem!

Hey Ladies!!! The single-leg circle wasn't on today's workout! Here's the link:

So glad that I figured this was the pilates move.... love these... they are simple, but you can really feel them working... and when you get better at them... well, then you know it, but they are still hard

Hello everyone! I didn't want to post today.. I just got home from school it is 10:43 PM. I drank alot of water, besides my average. However, I was hungry in class and had 1/4 cup of mixed unsalted nuts and that sent me over my caloric intake! Im so mad at myself.. and so I wil be torturing this body for the rest of the weeek... Unlike everyone else- I will NOT have Sunday off- So I will still keep my vow and complete ALL of my challenges!!!! *running away and hiding in a corner* Great Job to everyone who did awesome today!! One thing I promised I wouldn't do was lie to you guys or myself... So here is me admitting to what I did and rectifying it! Case Closed!

you are being honest and i respect you for admitting it.....im proud of you.....i probably will not have sunday off either.....but that's ok....

8:00 A.M. Starting the Day off right!! here is to an awesome day for everyone!!! Today is my first Parent -Teacher meeting!!! Looking forward to it!!!

ok....so i must be honest.....i have been doing the challenges, but some of them are very challenging.....i am slightly overwhelmed by some of the moves and i feel as though i am failing because i cant do all of the moves......im not losing and my personal trainer thinks im doing too much......i have not lost anything in the last few weeks and i am also becoming more toned too quickly and my personal trainer thinks that do to the toning so quickly ive stopped losing.....i may have to modify the workouts some, but i am not going to quit the challenge....i will do what i can and push myself as always......i know my body can handle the challenge but i cant stop losing yet......im not even close to my goal......i love yall and im in this with yall

I think you're doing a fantastic job but would definitely listen to your trainer! I would hate for you to lose your motivation and stop because you aren't losing... I think that's really the only way you could let any of us down!

Good job Mindey, your doing awesome and just as long as you listen to your body that's all that matters and you know your body better than any body. If it is telling you, you need a break take it, don't want to hurt yourself just to see results, trust me it isn't worth it. Are you seeing a change in your clothes? I always like to say the scale lies because it never tells you if the weight you have is muscle, bone, or fat, so i don't like to see when people stress over numbers, it is all about how you feel and how your clothes fit, best thing is not to stress or worry about lossing weight, the moment you "forget" about it that is when you will see some big changes. So keep up the good work

Good job on starting the 30 day shred catinabox, it's a tough one but so worth it. I remember when I first started it, it kick my a** lol. Just go at your own pace if you don't feel comfortable moving on to level 2 after 10 days stick with level 1 for a little bit longer, it will be so worth it. Now that I am on level 3 i find it so much easier than level 1 and I look forward to doing it every day. So keep up the hard work and it will pay off and you will see results.


As for today I have completed my 4 extra miles, have stayed under my calories for the day and come later tonight i will have consumed all my water plus some for the day. Keep it up ladies we are doing awesome

I have to say that today I did not have time to do any workout, so I didn't do the challenge. My rest day is today and no rest for me on Sunday. I have a full time job and my part time job (synchronised swimming coach) start this week. It is hard to organised my time, but next week will be better. Even if I don't have a lot of time, I did the challenge for day 1, 2 and 3, but today I was too busy.
I wish you a good day for tomorrow challenge !!

thanks so much for the encouragement.....you ladies rock.....
i did the challenge today and drank plenty of water and rocked it......great job everyone

It's Friday! I did my walking already. But, during the work week I can only spend up to an hour exercising in the morning and I don't have time in the evenings anymore, so I only did 2.5 miles (wanted to do 4). I have a treadmill but we live on the 3rd floor in an apartment and I cannot jog on my treadmill so early in the morning because I'd disturb my neighbors. I know, excuses, excuses. But, I do what I can do. Have a great day!

Good job to everyone for their hard effort and doing as much of the challenges as they can, were doing great

Today's challenged really was really good for me but made a few changes: I did my 100 situps on a decline bench with a 11 pound medicine ball and both of my punches i used a 5 pound dumbbell. That little extra challenge make it more interesting but good and i still completed them all.

So far i am under my calories and am on track to stay under them and have drank all my water today.

Well girls- I have a personal NSV... After I had my 3rd child, my son, KJ...I was over 200 pounds... I was going into extra large and hated the way clothes was starting to fit on me... Well- I just went to buy some pants from my favorite store NY & CO and I am sitting at the hospital right now wearing size....... MEDIUM!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!! I will not weigh myself until the end of the month... This was the drive I needed!!! My throat is still sore So I haven't been drinking as much water- mostly hot tea... But I have been doing my challenges and I feel great!!!!

Good job ladies today was a hard one but a good one, good job to everyone

Completed all challenges today

challenges are done for Day #5....
I was over in calories today but not too horrible I suppose considering yesterday I was way under... maybe the zig zagging will help me out some
Anyways, I've drank lots of water too so hoping that it helps...

Hi Everyone!!! I worked out yesterday n felt great all day! I did most of the challenge for day 5!!! It's tough balancing my time... I know it's an excuse but it's thee truth... My goal is to do day 6 today n attempt to do day 4 as well (those 4 miles must get done!) have a wonderful Sunday everyone
